Starting in Android 15, radio vendors will be able to add support for Android’s new location privacy HAL, which can tell the radio not to share location data for any non-emergency requests.

A request not to share it is not control, it's just a request. So any law enforcement seeking your location would receive it anyway

Seems like it would just be easier for LEOs to get your location from your wireless carrier with tower triangulation.

That can get you close, but there's still errors. This one, if I'm understanding correctly, actually gives your full GPS location with distance above ground (for apartments, etc).
